Re:Full Tilt's $1 Main Event Satt
Well, I consider myself a micro donk but not that much of a fish. If I'm having this problem, there's a lot of people worse than me who will have it too. Plus, it looks like it'll be a loooooong tourney if you want to win anything.

Re:Full Tilt's $1 Main Event Satt
I think that for us micro grinders, trying to get 5th place out of 30k entrants is too much mission impossible. I'm playing but it's hard to take it seriously.

Re:new memeber with question
Yeah be careful with that. Pokerstars will fix it for you if you explain, probably. Making a mistake is okay, it happens. But opening new accounts when you have old ones just to get the bonuses is pretty shady.

Re:The infamous BLUFF CALL what a great play w K high
I love his screenname too. That would totally tilt me at the table. Especially if it came with a picture.

Re:Clearing the FT bonus - quickest / most efficient way?
Rush poker, full ring. Play as high stakes as you're comfortable with and your bankroll will allow. Play 2 or 3 tables. You'll clear it in no time.

Re:Any advantages to using the Rainbow Deck??
Lol, I just voted for "normal deck" , and now I notice I've been using the 4 color one all along! I don't even notice anymore.

Re:AA spot early in Milly
What he meant (probably) was that by 3-bet/folding on the flop, you turned your hand into a bluff. If you do that, you might as well have 3 high, and so you turned it into a bluff. If you're going to 3-bet the flop, you need to ship all-in. If you're scared he might have you (which I would be with the minreraise), you flat his raise. Either way, you should have known what you were going to do with your hand if he was going to shove on you before you 3-bet. By knowing you would fold, you know it would have been better to flat the raise and reevaluate on the turn.

Re:My Journey Through Poker.... Thoughts?Advice?Similar Stories?
Well, don't play a tourney you don't have time to finish. Duh. If you don't have that much time, play a MTSNG. It sounds like she already gives you full Sundays to play the majors, you should be happy about that.

Re:$4m Guaranteed Sunday Million....wwyd?
I have been in this boat. First thing you have to think about is, is the $215 worth a lot to you' Will you be playing with that buy-in prize in mind' If you will, then it's not a good idea, becasue you'll be playing with scared money. (that's the first time I tried the Million). Another time, I was really on the fence about playing or not playing, so I made a deal with myself. I took the T$ and said to mysel that if I could win another seat with that, I would play. I did, so I played. And lost, of course. But at least I still had a 100 bucks or so profit. I won't be playing ...

Re:Any other Pokerstars milestone hand winners around? (Shameless brag)
Congrats! Winner of the hand gets their bonus doubled, if I'm not mistaken. So no reason to fold. The bonus is dependent on the number of vpp's you earned in the previous 40 hands you played on that table, 40 bucks per vpp. And you get an extra vpp. I saw people fold a milestone hand on a razz table though, I think that's okay.

Re:QQ deep in Stars 30k $11
Hmm okay. Too bad then. Getting deep and losing like this always makes me play bad for a while. Is it terrible to check behind the river if I smell something fishy' I'd have about half the average stack left, whch at least gives me a chance. Or is that a waste of the opportunity to double those last chips up as well'

I like this Rush Poker. I would be playing a lot more of it if I could play more than 5 hands without disconnecting. Stupid Full Tilt.

FTP I keep disconnecting
So I deposited on Full Tilt today to try Rush Poker. Haven't played Full Tilt since about September last year. Now I keep disconnecting every minute or so. I can watch what all the other players ae doing but when it's my turn I can click what I want, but nothing happens. I just watch the time bank count down to 0. It already made me fold a flush on the river and AA preflop. Anyone else having problems' Any idea what to do' Is it me or Full Tilt' For what it's worth, I'm running Pokerstars at the same time and it works fine, so my internet connection is not the problem.

Re:Should sites let us choose to be BB the first hand we sit down?
Ummm no, that's really a very terrible idea. So, if I've just been the BB, and someone sits down on my right and becomes BB, I then have to be it again' Wow that would tilt me to no end. Just wait and be patient, grasshopper.
